Dang, I like 'em both. You keep the old one so's when you get tired of the solid one you can change it back? Both look nice, kinda like the solid a bit more though...is that wishy washy enough for ya??

I think the two tone, the black with the white, is much more classy looking but I also understand your desire for symmetry.

Personally, I prefer the two-tone on your setup. But what the heck do we know? It's your ride, get out there and enjoy it. It's all about what YOU THINK anyway. Thanks for the pictures.

Of course another symetrical option would be to put the two tone fender back on and paint the bottoms of your side covers to match the tank and fender

I like it. Most times the "less is more" principle works for me. Wish I could easily get rid of the pinstripes on my Ultra. Nice job - if you like it - be happy!
